At the moment my house is nearly falling down and i only moved in 2 months ago hence why ive been inactive, i did say i would be a little more active from now on but not a lot, i have no idea why i was motioned sensed, i havent nothing to hide just a poor little VT trying to get through this game with the littlist of fuss, hoping my bathroom doesnt collapse round my ears.
 

 
That's prettttttty suspicious to me. The only possibility is that mafia tried to attack you and were foiled by Imran. I'm still suspicious.

no. The night I probed him we had a night kill happen. He couldn't of been targeted for the kill cause somebody else was killed.

 

 

Ah. So the answer in short is that he's a mafia.

[Rhizoctonia]

So i just want to get this straight. Rhizos role claim uses only public knowledge, and claims that he "forgot" to use an action on night 3.... seems a bit odd considering.

Im always suspicious of role claims that provide no new information.

 

 

You can believe as you want, obviously the ability for one to fake role claim is there, however this is not the case.  You can believe as you wish, but I'm not spending the whole day arguing about my RC, especially since you're my short list for scum.  I've roleclaimed, people can believe as they want to.  You know no one would role claim D2 after discovering someone is a town to inform everyone, especially with PR's still available.  

 

When D2 came, I was even asked my feelings on Kevin since I was pursuing him D1

 

I said, as I already quoted

I'm more interested in hearing from Rhizo. Do you still suspect Kevin?

 

I'm waiting to see how this day goes.  I vote for someone who comes off the most scummy, and to me that was Kevin D1.  That doesn't necessarily mean that Kevin will get my vote today, but he was the best option for me, and basis of scumminess to go yesterday.  I explained my suspicion in long detail, I'm not going to resay it all again as I imagine most got the gist of it. 

 

See yesterday, D34th was an easy lynch for scum.  Too easy.  Scum could easily be on that wagon and even if it succeeded, still not really throw much suspicion their way.  Most would of simply wrote it off as not a real telling sign, because hey, D34th wasn't going to be around to play anyway so even if he was town he wasn't going to be of any help.  This is why I am against the likes of just voting off an inactive, because low and behold, a replacement was found.  Lurkers/initial inactivness is a whole other story, but true inactives I rather push for a replacement.  

 

I'm not sure if D34th, now Isocialism, is a town or not, but from all the people jumping ship once he was replaced makes me lean towards town.  Luckily, no one was killed last night.  So someone knows something, but at same time, I imagine possibly many PR's were used, so as already stated, the PR's probably don't know if it was their choice or not.  But unlike D1, we do have at least some votes to go on from Yesterday even though today is like D1 all over.  You have the votes for D34th, and you have the vote on Kevin.  I explained my reason for Kevin, I think Sea was also on it as a lulz vote early on.  D34th had enough to lynch at deadline before he was replaced.

 

D34THBR1NG3R (5): Imran Ehsan, Yehom, KevinH, Sister Midnight, Finster Baby

 

I believe that was the point of most votes.  This is the vote I'm looking at mostly at this point.  What I'm looking at is who jumped off it after a replacement was found.   If I was a scum, I wouldn't be too worried about being involved with a lynch of an inactive, as like I already mentioned, the excuse of him being no help to town is an easy defense to make.  Once a replacement was found, then if I was scum, I may think about not being on the wagon of lynching a town D1 if Isocialism is town.  

 

So lets for the sake of argument, Isocialism is town, who was left on his wagon at the end.  That would be Kevin and Imran.  So let's exclude these two, as they didn't jump off the wagon suddenly once a replacement was found.  The people that did, Yehom, SM, and FB.  Those are the 3, if I am going to look at anyone, are the 3 I'm most interested in.  Likely they all aren't scum, I imagine some scum stayed off the wagon since they weren't needed to lynch at deadline.  I would wager one of them are likely a scum.  That is, if Isocialism is town.  Waiting to see some responses from Isocialism to feel him out more, but at this point I'm not suspecting him.

 

Long post, but wanted to get where my head is at

 

 

About as indirectly as I could make it.  Had I not found out he was town, I would of kept the pressure up on Kevin.

 

 

But like I said, town can believe as they want.  I'm not all that worried about what you believe, as you're my scum suspect #2 as it is.  You have hardly contributed anything of help.  You've had 13 posts all game, and going through them, about 3 or 4 was of any input, the rest consisted of you contributing nothing to the game at hand.  Your only votes have been Imran one time as a lulz vote basically, a FoS on Kitkat, a convenient hammer vote on Canik when he was already done for, and that's it.  I know the reason I am alive is scum was hoping for an easy lynch on me today since Yehom suspected me, and you'd like to keep that focus on me.

Technically, still could.  Wasn't Canik a scum JOAT?  I would imagine he would have a vigilante kill, and have a restriction like I do on mine ( N3 or later).  Possible scum could of tried to knock out two in one night (especially since no one was the first 2 nights), Imran could of possibly defended WP, giving you the movement, and scum still got a kill by the other kill attempt.

 

That being said, that hasn't really changed my feelings on it.  WP also only RC'd with VT.  I say that, as being scum on past TW games, he's never given an alternate name to RC with, and all the names of scum have been scummy people in the books, thus him RC'ing his actual character name would likely be a scummy HP character name if he is in fact scum.  He left that part out.  In the Prisoner of Azkaban game, I was at one point going to try to risk searching a HP character name that hopefully TW didn't use as a fake RC since all scum were Dementors, but felt it too risky.  Not sure if TW would give a name scum could use to fake RC with, but I imagine scum will be once reading this in hopes he will.  With no one coming forward to say they visited him to explain Robert's motion detection, and his lack of supplying his character name on his RC (at this point he's probably asking TW for an alternate), WP is stand alone person for me for today.  

 

At this point I'm sold on WP is scum.

 

Vote: WP

[SeaBeeGipson]

I'm curious the specific need for a motion detector. I get the JOAT roles. TW uses them frequently but motion detector is a first for me I believe. TW typically throws a new curveball into every game but I'm curious as to what role scum has that MD is the opposite to.

With the evidence provided, and assuming most (not all) RCs are true, it leaves little members left to fall within the scum category. I didn't have any real reads lately (sorry) but evidence points to WP as the most likely to be scum.

Was Canik killed before or after WPs had an action viewed? I'm having a hard time with the timeline for some reason (sleep deprevied AF lately).

If he was killed beforehand, WP more than likely scum.
If he was killed after, it would make sense Canik utilized his investigation abilities within his JOAT role on WP.

[SeaBeeGipson]

Vote Isocialism.

Interestingly enough if you look at when the wagon was formung in d43th we have
Yehom - confirmed town
KevinH - confirmed town
Imran - confirmed town
Sister Midnight - na
Finister - confirmed town

Interesting a wagon would get so large without scum jumping on it at that size? With the exception of SM, each person has been confirmed townie. I'm going to put my vote here today. Unless some really compelling argument arises. I'm pretty sure Isocialism is.scum after noticing this.

So because Canik had an investigation role, it makes sense he used it on WP, the exact same night that Robert used his ability?  The chances are a lot higher WP is lying about him being a VT and used an ability of his the night Robert used his on him. 

[Rhizoctonia]

So, Robert's claim doesnt confirm or deny anyone on whether they are scum or not. His powers mean they could've used a scum action or had scum target them. Not much to go off of there but his analysis on SM was right, so I see no dangerous harm in seeing how his role (if real) plays out.

As for Yehom, his points seem to be reaching in my opinion. They do make sense, where he states that Robert's claim on Wolfpacks doesn't confirm or deny him being scum. It did make me feel a little uneasy towards WP but with scum having investigation roles in previous HP games; it isn't too much of a red flag at this point. But it is noted.

Another concern is we are looking at FB and Imran's post pretty closely. FB listed Yehom (despite being Day 2) as most likely town, whereas Imran listed him as scum.

I'm not going to defend Yehom, I have zero reason to, and honestly, his behavior seems targetted at Robert after his RC.

I want to spend more time (I'll have more time this weekend) looking for hints towards the 3rd scum. At this point, in my opinion, I feel we are looking at a Canik, Yehom, Wolfpacks scum team. But, there isn't enough concrete proof for me and several possible twists that could be throwing us off.

Either way, going off of Robert's claim, the easiest path would be to vote Wolfpacks. However, I'm more interested in this Yehom/Robert disagreement that is developing. Also, I just don't see enough from anyone else to give me a red flag (for now) to cast a vote.

VOTE Yehom

 

 

It's interesting.  Twice here you mentioned WP, both as your 3 scum, and saying the easiest path would be to vote WP.  But yet, you say that, and then vote Yehom, a now known town.  Now this day starts, and you have the opportunity to vote WP, and you detract elsewhere.  It would be a good choice if you are the 3rd scum and you just included WP in your scum list because suspicion started to arrise with him and to separate yourself from him, but then never actually vote him.  You've already started today trying to deflect attention off WP with the very unlikely chance both Robert and Canik visited WP on the same night to, and trying to shift suspicion to isocialism, though just yesterday, WP was on your 3 scum list, or so at least you say.  

[SeaBeeGipson]

Not sure how I'm deflecting or ignoring WP. I've stated my concerns with him.

I'm only leaving my train of thought (least trying) since my activity is pretty shitty and want to keep people aware of my suspicions.

Like you stated, there is a 3rd scum. While my suspicions are definitely drawing towards WP as the second (we've only found Canik so far), we can't focus all of our energy towards one at a time and miss potential identifiers of that 3rd scum.
The question involving Canik targetting WP was just stating the possibility of both of them targetting WP. Its unlikely, yes, but wouldn't it have the same odds as a doctor correctly protecting a scum target? Which we've seen before. Its highly unlikely, but I want to make sure I read the timeline right before I jumped the gun on WP. Upon reading over, I seen comments mentioning the Isocialism wagon and it looked all town.

Lo and behold, it was (excluding SM, but Robert investigated her to have no action. Either she is goon or VT.) It doesn't add up to me that many townies would be on a wagon and scum wouldn't jump on to secure a lynch. Unless, the target was a scum. That drew a red flag for me and I wanted to point it out to everyone.

You and Robert have done a good enough job alone bringing heat towards WP for us to get a good read. But like I said, some people need to hunt for the 3rd scum. And avoid rushing a lynch. Starting a day with all the votes heading towards WP and risking a quick lynch day isnt how I want this day to go. Let's used the day to bring people like Isocialism and CoD out to get a better read on them.

It's no deflecting. I'm still very aware and even mentioning my concerns with WP. But we can't get stuck on one person.

And I would agree, there is a 3rd scum we have to look for.  My response was not towards you throwing up suspicion on Isocialism in general.  He's certainly on my possible list, and the point you brought up has some merit.  Nor, even your vote at this time.  The reason for my response is what you added after your vote on Isocialism.

 

I'm going to put my vote here today. Unless some really compelling argument arises. 

 

That is in which I am taking issues with.  If anyone has the most suspicion, it's WP.  It's one thing to work on finding the 3rd scum and looking through the past days to try to find them today or get a better idea, but at the end of the day, my lynch is on who I think is most likely scum, and that's WP (you even state your suspicion is definitely drawing towards WP as the 2nd scum).  To me, especially what you just said, it seems you're leaning towards WP as the second scum, so when you say your vote is sticking on Isocialism unless more is brought forth, it's kinda questionable when you wont take out the best likely choice.  My arguement is I disagree if you think Isocialism has the most evidence that he's scum.  I also draw your attention to WP RCing, but no name.  I brought that up in my earlier post

That drew a red flag for me and I wanted to point it out to everyone.

 

 

This is certainly worth noting.  That being said, very well could of been all town on that lynch.  Though I disagree with lynching a true inactive instead of looking to replace, there are many that feel differently then me.  Hell Kevin who always voted NL day 1 as I pointed out was on it, so scum could of sat back and waited and see if enough town would.  We had 13 players at start, 3 scum, 1 inactive (d34th), which means if it was all town 5 out of 9 town were on it.  When I've played scum however, I've never looked to be apart of a lynch of a town on D1...too early 4 that, but I will say in this case, it would be easy for a scum to and just defend himself by saying taking out an inactive. 

 

I'm not sold on SM either.  SM, on the lynch wagon of D34th was the 4th vote, the vote amount needed for the lynch to happen at deadline.  She didn't vote the day FB was killed, she instead said Kitkat was the most suspicious, but wasn't sold he was scum, that she thought CANIK wasn't scum, and not enough proof to vote anyone.  

 

She also said this the day after the FB kill, 

 

Assuming someone is doing a great job protecting scum's targets and this is a normal game, then at least one of the following is likely to be scum: Kitkat16, Rhizoctonia, Yehom, Canik. I am firmly fingering all of them.

 

I'm town, Kitkat I believe whole heartily is town, Yehom is known town, and at the end she put's Canik.  The end of the day, she didn't know enough to vote anyone, then suddenly I am on her list, Yehom appears, and she puts Canik at the end even though at the end of the day before she believed he wasn't.  

 

For someone who said Canik and Kitkat was here top 2 suspects that day, she didn't vote again, and wasn't apart of Canik lynch wagon.  

 

 

 

A girl has no name...oh wait, wrong novel.

TW gives villain names to villains, but gives then alternate names for role claiming.

 

This I find interesting, as he's never given anytime I've played as scum in his games an alternate name.

 

 

 

See I can find things that make me think she could be just as well.  Robert's role on her could mean she's a VT, or a goon, or she could be a town/scum who has a odd/even limitation to my roles, or limited uses, like my PR's are.

 

I want to spend today seeing what people say and shifting through the past through days to give us a good clue for tomorrow (I'll likely be dead), but the most evidence is at WP and that's where my vote will stay.  I got reasonable suspicion on a few, thus I'm calling people I'm unsure of out to try to help discover the 3rd, but WP at the end of the day will still have a vote from me.  

[Kitkat16]

I really don't know who to believe or even whether to believe the roleclaims so far, but I think the reasoning re: WP makes sense. If I'm wrong I will crawl into a hole and die somewhere for being such an epic fail.

[iSocialism]

SBG, makes a good point, and I can't argue against that. Also my activity is poor, and I wish I can do better. I have nothing to add to the game beside a list, which I will develop after the weekend. I've been mainly watching or as some would call it lurking. Still trying to get a feel for everyone. My gut feeling lied to me, and yehom was a bad choice. It was just his style corresponded with the past few games in which we were scum. At least in my mind. The best way to tell you I'm not scum is to point to others who, IMO, are scum

[Robert2424]

Again. We had 2 first nights without night kills without explanation how. Imran getting 2 successful protects? Or a role block. I'm willing to believe one. But both? For the first 3 days while he was alive, we should look who he thought was likely town and maybe we can determine who he might of protected. I doubt he protected me. We should at least try to figure out what exactly happened those nights.

Also. @Rhizo have you used your roleblock ability?

TBH, with the setup so far, a jailkeeper role would make sense to be out there. A jailkeeper both protects and blocks there target.

No. Used cop N1, my next time I would of been able to use a role would of been N3 with my odd night restriction (I didn't submit an action, was on vacation).  

 

It's likely going to relatively hard to know exactly what happened those nights with Imran dead.  I looked through yesterday some of his posts to possibly get a clue but couldn't pick up on him hinting at who he did.  I'll look again, maybe someone else can pick up on it as well. There very well could be a commuter role as well.  It seems, not matter the roles, TW has limited the uses of them.  With Imran/FB dead we see they had 2 shot abilities, I have an odd night restriction, Canik the scum had a even night restriction.  I would guess after no kill N1 that Imran probably protected the same person N2, and if a commuter used their role N1, they probably used it again since both would think their action is what stopped a kill. 

 

Could be a combination of both as well, where Imran saved someone 1 night, second night scum targeted a commuter who used their role.  Or a combination of another role and Imran.  But yes, no matter what happened, someone made some lucky guesses, as I've never seen 2 nights with no kills.  Could also be some weird setup where scum couldn't kill the first night or 2....but if that's the case, scum would have to pick up something to make up for that, like an extra scum player or something.  Never seen anything like that in any mafia I've played, but just thinking outside the box of how 2 nights we had no deaths at night.  

[Rhizoctonia]

If he was killed beforehand, WP more than likely scum.

Also Sea, after looking back and noticing that Canik had a restriction like mine, except mine being odd night and his being even, your scenario about Canik using his investigation ability on WP cannot happen.  

 

Robert used his ability on WP on N3, Canik had a even night restriction on his ability, thus he wouldn't of been able to use that ability on WP N3, thus Robert's detection of motion could not of came from Canik investigating him that night.   So, again, no town has stepped forward to say they visited WP N3, and we know Canik couldn't of used his ability on him, so this even more confirms my feeling that WP is for sure scum

[SeaBeeGipson]

Interesting I missed that Canik was even nights. Under those circumstances, I'm positive WP is scum then. It wouldn't add up in my mind any other way.
I'll still keep an eye on a few I'm suspecting but right now WP and Isoc are on my shortlist. WP, at this point, is fairly obvious scum.

Unvote

Vote Wolfpacks

Not too fond of Isocialism response. Could be scum giving in like Canik or a townie admitting how suspicious that looked. Either way, we can get to that later

[Rhizoctonia]

Yea i missed it as well, only saw looking back through the days.

 

I am certain WP is going to come up scum.  I am likely dead tonight, no matter what.  So townies, should I use my Vig tonight on someone to hopefully hit right, or just hope town will find the other scum in the remaining days?  I guess I could use my RB power instead, if I hit right, there won't be a kill, and I'll be around tomorrow to know say who did it.  

[iSocialism]

I looked through imran post and didn't see anything as well. I didn't post anything about it because there was nothing I could spot. There could also be a bulletproof attachment as well. I think I seen it before were it wasn't shown after the person died.

[Robert2424]

ok, well, sorry wolfpacks. I don't see you being town and your much to inactive to even make a decent argument, let alone add anything to the game. 

 

Vote Wolfpacks

 

that isn't entirely true Rhizo. if you Roleblock the right scum, (Assuming there is only one left, it should prevent a night kill, and might make for a quick victory. (Its an odd night via night 5) course I could be shot also tonight.

Harry was relieved when he crept back through the portrait hole to find the Gryffindor Common Room empty since he was expecting Sirius any minute. He sat down in one of the armchairs next to the fire and closed his eyes for a moment as he tried to think about what he was going to have to do for the first task. Visions of dragon's fire danced across Harry's mind for the next couple minutes until he startled himself awake by the crackle of the fire. As he stared into the fireplace. he noticed that it wasn't a dragon he was staring at but rather Sirius' face. Harry jumped out of the chair and hurried over to the fireside.

 

He explained everything to Sirius about his dreams over the summer and his selection for the Triwizard Tournament and even about the dragons he had seen that evening. Sirius had a grim look on his face as he listened intently to Harry. When Harry had finished telling him everything, Sirius said that he believed Berth Jorkins' disappearance to be significant. He also told Harry that Igor Karkaroff used to be a Death Eater. He agreed with Harry that the tournament could be a good way to attack Harry while making it appear as an accident.

 

A noise behind Harry caused him to jump. Someone was coming down the stairs. Sirius quickly said goodbye and told Harry to remain vigilant and let him know if anything else happened. Sirius' face disappeared just as Ron stumbled down the last few stairs to the Common Room. Harry was furious that Ron had interrupted his conversation with Sirius.

 

"Just thought you'd come nosing around, did you?" he snarled at Ron as he pushed past him and climbed the stairs to the dormitory.

 

Hermione and Harry spent the next couple days brainstorming about what to do during the first task but they were struggling to come up with a solid plan. The more he thought about it the more Harry realized that Cedric was probably the only Champion who did not know about the dragons. He knew that he had to share the information with Cedric so that he could prepare himself as well. Harry found Cedric in one of the courtyards after class and pulled him aside.

 

"Cedric, Dragons.. the first task is dragons," Harry said.

 

"Dragons? Are you sure?" Cedric replied as Harry nodded. "Why are you telling me?"

 

"It's just fair.. isn't it? Now we all know and we are on even footing."

 

Mad-Eye Moody hobbled over and asked Harry to follow him. They walked back to Moody's office and Mad-Eye pulled the door behind them. "that was a very decent thing that you did back there, Potter. Now, what are you going to do about your dragon?"

 

"I don't know," Harry admitted.

 

"Play to your strengths," Moody advised him. "What are you good at?"

 

"I.. I'm a fair flyer..."

 

"Better than fair the way I heard it," Moody winked at him.

 

"But I'm not allowed a broom."

 

"You're allowed a wand." Moody winked at him again.

 

With Hermione's help, Harry learned a summoning charm in time for the first task.

 

Harry was incredibly nervous the morning of the first task and wondered if any of the others felt like he did. They were all gathered in a large tent waiting to be briefed on their first task. Ludo Bagman and Mr. Crouch walked into the tent and explained to them that their first task would be to try to collect a golden egg from one of the dragons. One by one the Champions were brought out into the arena to face one of the dragons and attempt to collect their golden prize. Cedric went first followed by Fleur, and then Krum, leaving Harry alone as the last person in the tent.

 

As the cannon sounded to summon Harry to the arena he felt like he was walking in a dream. He was just hoping that the Hungarian Horntail that he was matched up with wouldn't use him as a chew toy. Harry entered the arena to thunderous applause from the Gryffindor crowd. The arena's terrain was mountainous. Harry hoisted himself up onto a nearby boulder and looked around for a sign of the dragon or his golden egg. The arena was eerily quiet as Harry peered around from his perch. He jumped over to a second boulder and looked around. The shadow on his boulder shifted slightly catching Harry's glance. Harry dove to his left as the dragon's massive tail smashed the boulder that he had been standing on. he quickly got back to his feet and peered around at the Horntail. A glint of gold caught Harry's eye and he could see the golden egg at the dragon's feet. The dragon opened it's mouth and Harry could see the fire building in it's throat.

 

"ACCIO FIREBOLT!" he yelled as he pointed his wand skyward.

 

The Horntail threw his head forward and the flames erupted from it's mouth heading straight toward Harry. Right on queue Harry's Firebolt arrived and scooped him into the air. Harry evaded the trail of fire and the Gryffindor section went crazy. As soon as Harry's feet left the ground, his fear dissolved. He zoomed toward the dragon and then flew straight upward to lure her off her perch. The Horntail spread its wings and with three massive thrusts flew after Harry into the air. The dragon chased him around the arena sending blasts of fire in all directions. After a couple minutes Harry saw his chance and dove toward the dragon's perch. His hands closed around the golden egg and he removed it from it's nest.

 

The cannon blasted again and Ludo Bagman's magically amplified voice erupted in the arena. "Will you look at that! Our youngest Champion is the quickest to get his egg!" Harry had managed to escape the first task with nothing more than some scrapes and a burn on his shoulder. Harry made his way back to the tent where he was treated for his burn. Hermione and Ron rushed in to the tent.

 

Ron looked a little bit embarrassed as he looked at Harry. "Whoever put your name in that goblet.. I.. I reckon they're trying to do you in!" Ron and Harry apologized to one another. Hermione was so relieved that she burst into tears as she gave them both a hug.

 

After his treatment, the Champions were gathered to receive their scores. Harry received high marks from all of the judges except for the obviously biased Professor Karkaroff who gave him a 4 out of 10. Harry and Krum were tied in first place after the first event. After announcing their scores, Ludo Bagman told them all that a clue to their second task was inside their eggs.

 

As Harry walked off with Ron and Hermione, Rita Skeeter ambushed him asking him for a quick word.

 

"Sure you can have a word: Goodbye."

 

Harry ran up to the dormitory when they got back to Gryffindor Tower and wrote to Sirius to tell him everything that happened. After sending the letter, he made his way back down to the Common Room where the party had begun. Seamus Finnigan asked Harry why not open the egg right now in front of everyone for them all to hear the clue. Harry unlatched the top of the egg and it split open. The most horrible noise -- a loud screeching and wailing filled the room as everyone quickly covered their ears. Harry quickly shut the egg and decided that he would try again later after enjoying the party.

 

As Harry slept that evening he was once again taken back to that old, dark mansion. He watched as the little old caretaker quietly climbed the winding wooden staircase to the second floor where a door stood partially ajar and a dim light flooded the floor. He saw the door burst open and a flash of green light engulf Frank Bryce. He could hear the cold cackle of Voldemort's laugh as the muggle crumpled to the floor.
